The decrepit house erupts for a short moment as the crows flee their home and sanctuary. Cobwebs dance in their wingbeats. The paint is flaking of the outer panels and the windows are all broken in unthinkable patterns. The blackest smoke seeps from a door that gently creeks open to lure you in. Gloom grips and lingers as you step inside. A soft whistle grows into a painful song. A song about witchcraft. And demons chant the end of worlds.
KRÅKSLOTT, founded in 2018, is a heavy doom trio from Stockholm, Sweden. Their sound is dark and very heavy, slow with massive guitar drones with classic stoner doom vibes. The band name is actually a Swedish word, which roughly translates to "old dilapidated building".

David Nyström - Bass
Per-Robin Eriksson - Guitar & Vocals
Nisse Härdfeldt - Drums
In 2019 they released their first single "Feathered Dragon Snake", the debut album arrived on January 17, 2020.
Today's tune "Häxsabbat" is taken from the self-titled debut.
Since the release of their debut album, "Twilight in the Desert", in 2007, Roma rockers BLACK RAINBOWS have become one of the most essential acts in Europe’s heavy underground. As the spearhead of an entire movement of Italian bands, They’ve issued six full-lengths to-date where the latest "Pandaemonium" came out 2018 with founding guitarist/vocalist Gabriele Fiori and bassist Giuseppe Guglielmino welcoming new drummer Fillippo Ragazzoni to the fold for the first time.
Across albums like 2010’s "Carmina Diablo" (recently reissued), 2011’s "Supermotherfuzzalicious!!", 2012's "Twilight In The Desert", 2014's "Holy Moon", 2015’s "Hawkdope", 2016’s "Stellar Prophecy", BLACK RAINBOWS sound has oozed between classic ‘90s-style stoner fuzz and deep-cosmos psychedelia, drawing on the best of hard-driving space rock to conjure a vibe totally tripped-out and all its own. By bringing Ragazzoni on board, the riffs have gotten tighter and are fuzzed as ever, and two years after their last outing, BLACK RAINBOWS are refreshed and with well-earned veteran status resulting from countless tours, festival appearances, and their track record of absolutely unstoppable energy.
Today's tune "High To Hell" is taken from "Pandaemonium". The album was recorded at Forward Studios, one of Italy's finest recording spaces. Produced by Gabriele Fiori and engineered by Fabio Sforza. "Pandaemonium" was released on April 2018. Enjoy!
FIGHTS is a new welcome from Norway. With face-melting guitar solos, hard-hitting drum breaks, electrifying bass licks and louder than life vocals, follows the path that TURBONEGRO and KVELERTAK have made, a band that proves that scandirock never died, or as Strängen say in swedish "Rocken är inte död".
Not much info about the lads is out yet, but the new single sounds really promising, check it out below.

Today's tune "Asbestos High" is taken from the band's upcoming album "Five AM", this band demands you to kick back with your friends - and for someone's sake - crack open a cold one, enjoy!
Ever since their inception, RED FANG have strived to write heavy, catchy music underlaid with subtle complexities. Founded in 2005, the band had a distinctive and fully-formed sound right from the start: a mix of compelling rock songwriting and party-hard metal euphoria that speaks to the headbanger, the hesher, and the music student alike.
RED FANG have always taken great pride in their music videos, making it an entertaining medium for fans. Now, they're taking the next step in music video evolution, turning their clip for "Antidote" into the world's first music video/videogame that you can play.
The story starts off when the group receives and accepts the performance invitation from a club, where is loaded with danger and villains. With the music power to defeat rivals, the group kills all the bad characters while performing headbanger “Antidote” on the stage. The heavy rock music runs into a climax in the boss battle when Posehn appears as a significant computer-controlled enemy, aka the big boss. But Posehn loses the game and is beaten by Red Fang. The music video ends up the group drive back home in the desert, leaving a tranquil and peaceful scene that seems nothing happened.
HIGH ON FIREs Matt Pike has contributed to the game’s development and can be viewed in the video.
The app is titled "RED FANG: Headbang" and you can currently get it for both Android and iOS using your smartphone or tablet.
Enjoy today's tune and check the upcoming tour dates!

OARFISH is an excuse for Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mattias Häggström Gerdt to create heavy music.
Crafting a sound as big as the world ocean, the new tune "Spine Of The World" sets the fate of five sunken cities to music. OARFISH carefully blends raw riffs with shifting harmonies, odd time signatures and ambient sections. All while never compromising the overall heavy sound.
A journey through the deep, along the mid-atlantic ridge. If you listen closely, you'll hear your doom rise from the depths.
Today's tune "Spine Of The World", get it from Bandcamp "Name your price", released July 5, 2018. Heavy music from 1000m below the surface, enjoy!
"Ghosts" is the second album from the Swedish rock trio SUPRALUNAR, the physical release was Februari 15, 2019, the digital was November 30, 2018.
SUPRALUNAR hails from Stockholm, Sweden and consist of Petri Tuulik the guitar slinger and vocalist, Georgios "Jojje" Vamvatsicos the dexterous bassist and harmonies, the funny guy Johann Enoksson beating the drums, screams and keep a good vibe in the air.
SUPRALUNAR plays a groovy rock, excellent harmonies and heavy riffing.
"Ghosts" is a great follow up to "A New Hope" in all means, the music is still very melodic and catchy, but the package has been upgraded with more heaviness and intensity, the playfulness with spices of BEATLES and SWEET are still there and make the album fun and very joyful to listen to. There are many cool tunes on this ten track album that flows over 44 minutes. Like the intro riffing of the first tune "Life", where you get some 80's heavy metal guitar sound, hey Ozzy, a melody that feels old but sounds new. The title tune "Ghosts" is a catchy piece with a clever guitar picking, heavy bass licks and some doomy parts to create some darkness to raise up the fear. "All Them Angels" is a killer tune, the vocals are just excellent, great harmonies, nice eco riffs, really a powerful track. The more intense rockers like "Superfast Train", "For The Greater Good Of Rock N' Roll" and "No More Days", they all take out the turns but in different directions. The power ballad "My Epiphany" is another stand out tune, beautifully done with a guest vocal by Noelle Leblanc that really add some strong female colouring to this piece, she sings amazing and makes the song grow into something really beautiful. Overall this is a great album that deserves more attention and I hope they will take a few more steps forward with this.
Today's tune is the title tune from "Ghosts", the clip is Live at KB Malmö
The British Heavy Doom trio CONAN climbed up and fell down after a couple of tours on the list and finished in a 45th place with their monstrous new album "Existential Void Guardian".
"Existential Void Guardian" is an slow, groove-soaked and thunderous album with pounds of heaviness. CONAN really knows how to do down-tuned doom.
Heavy fuzzed out riffs, dual vocal harmonies and all on very heavy half pace tempo, this is real "Caveman Battle Doom".
Today's tune "Volt Thrower", taken from the 4th album "Existential Void Guardian", enjoy!
WIRED MIND is a Heavy three-piece band from Hannover, Germany.
Blissful psychedelic leads with big heavy sun-drenched riffs. Think KYUSS, think COLOUR HAZE, think ASH RA TEMPEL… think again!
"Mindstate:Dreamscape" is combining clear influences from 70s legends such as AMON DüüL II, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD and BLACK SABBATH but with a modern twist.
The album follows a journey into the depths of consciousness. Through cosmic jams and the occasional flourish of heavy, the songs explore the intricate caverns of the mind. Imagine a late summer’s sunset. Picture a voyage through the stars. Envisage a collective of minds united by the groove. This is WIRED MIND. "Mindstate:Dreamscape" is just the beginning. The album was released 28 November 2015
Today's tune "Jennifer's Dream Of A Switchblade" filmed live @ HINTERHOF ARPKE
"Cape Yawn" is the Second album by Palermo, Sicily rockers ELEVATORS TO THE GRATEFUL SKY
With "Cape Yawn" sees the band expand their sound to incorporate influences from the world of alternative rock and set themselves apart from the "stoner rock" crowd. The Italian band are sounding even hungrier than before. Heavy, psychedelic, dark and beautiful, "Cape Yawn" captures the sound of four young and diverse musicians determined to make their mark.
Formed by friends Sandro Di Girolamo (Ex-UNDEAD CREEP) and Giuseppe Ferrara – both of whom cut their teeth as the brutal (and now defunct) death metal set Omega – ELEVATORS TO THE GRATEFUL SKY pull together and package a diverse range of influences from each band member’s distinct experience. Joined by Bonham-worshipping drummer Giulio Scavuzzo and guitarist Giorgio Trombino the band is a pressure cooker filled to the brim with psychedelic metal, doom, classic and groove-laden rock.
Serving their early days in their native Palermo, it didn’t take long for their EP to find its way onto the desk of Swedish label Transubstans Records who jumped at the chance to release their debut album "Cloud Eye" in 2013. An out-and-out foray into the darkened days of early grunge and straight up heavy 70s rock and roll, fast forward to "Cape Yawn" and the band has developed even further. Complimenting and drawing on influences as diverse as DANZIG, FU MANCHU and legendary alt rockers MORPHINE (the song ‘Laura’ on "Cape Yawn" is dedicated to the band’s lead singer Mark Sandman) to galvanize their songwriting talents, ELEVATORS TO THE GRATEFUL SKY produce something entirely of their own making. It’s an album that will keep audiences guessing and leave no rock lover wanting.
"Cape Yawn" was released on 11th March 2016 on HeviSike Records.
Today's tune is the title tune from "Cape Yawn", enjoy!
The mythos of THE OBSESSED returns with the fantastic milestone "Sacred". It's their first studio album in over 20 years. Led by legendary frontman Scott "Wino" Weinrich (SAINT VITUS, SPIRIT CARAVAN to name a few).
THE OBSESSED originally formed in 1976 and released three seminal stoner / doom albums in the early 90's, including "The Church Within" which has been hailed as one of the important records in the genre's history. Now, after reforming in 2016, the band has returned with renewed energy and purpose, sounding heavier and more relevant than ever before. The lineup consist of Wino’s longtime friend and former road crew member Brian Costantino (Drums) and Reid Raley (Bass & Vocals) and of course Scott "Wino” Weinrich (Guitar & Vocals).
"Sacred" kicks on with a remake of "Sodden Jackal", that was released on their 1999s album "Incarnate", here the tune have gotten a more deeper sound, much heavier and doomier, more powerful than ever, Wino's vocal is clearer and have a more punch. The tune got a new life indeed, a very good remake. "Punk Crusher" has a more classic hard rock approach, with a thundering chorus. The title song and today's tune "Sacred" has a more typical Wino layout, melodic and heavy. The record have a good mix between the styles of "Classic Rock", all from the light punkish "Haywire" and "Be The Night", the rocker "Razor Wire" to a more punchy radio rock friendly "Perseverance Of Futility" or the instrumental jam-oriented "Cold Blood". The THIN LIZZY cover "It's Only Money" is real heavy rocker were Wino sounds like an old Phil Lynott, cool version. The catchy, melancholic charm of "Stranger Things" is one if the hightlights with it's bluesy doom/rock groove. There are two bonus tracks on the deluxe version of the LP, the awesome nine minutes doomy "On So Long" with a amazing guitar work and the catchy classic rocker "Crossroader".
Deluxe Vinyl Version
Sum: "Sacred" is an extensive musical journey that is very fun to listen to.
Today's tune "Sacred" is the title track from the "Record Of The Week", enjoy!
Easily one of the greatest rock singers of the 21st century, Norway's very own giant Viking warrior JORN LANDEs vocals are resoundingly strong once again on his ninth original studio album "Life on Death Road". It's great to hear that JORN is attacking the microphone once again.
"Life on Death Road" was not an easy album to make as it took several months of hard work for the songwriting vision to come together. JORN needed to take the music to a new level to push the concept of the band further than it has ever gone before. The result is a record that is deep, strong, full of groove and powerful with anthemic songs aplenty! Songs like "Man Of The 80's", "Love Is The Remedy", "Life On Death Road", and "Hangman's Robe" capture the essence of JORN as a singer, songwriter and lyricist.
The album also marks the debut of a new lineup of very experienced and gifted musicians around the Norwegian singer. On bass is Mat Sinner (PRIMAL FEAR, SINNER, KISKE/SOMERVILLE) who needs virtually no introduction to European heavy metal fanatics. On keyboards and production is Alessandro Del Vecchio (HARDLINE, REVOLUTION SAINTS), who already joined JORN for the recording of his last covers album, “Heavy Rock Radio” and was the glue that helped JORN to create the feel and the direction for the new album. Francesco Jovino (PRIMAL FEAR) is on drums and Alex Beyrodt (PRIMAL FEAR, VOODOO CIRCLE) handles guitar. Truly a recipe for a roaring success!
JORN had no desire to do "just another" JORN record. The aim was to do the best record possible and it took almost two years of writing, arranging, and producing before wrapping this all up. The performances are thunderous across the board and you can hear the urgency of these songs in JORNs singing!
JORNs catalogue is getting too long to include in brief overviews and his innovative and creative skills as a vocalist and music visionary have led to him selling millions of albums worldwide while being a frequent entrant on sales charts around the world including Billboard. Worth a mention here though are his years fronting German based MASTERPLAN, whom he recorded three albums with. Claimed to be the biggest selling Norwegian musical export since the pop band A-HA, JORN continues his rock crusade and there are no signs of him slowing down and “Life on Death Road” is a magnificent testament to his abilities!
Today's tune "Love Is The Remedy" is taken from the upcoming album "Life on Death Road", set to be released June 2:nd.
London-based trio PUPPY passed by in haste a few months ago, once again they swashed by, but this time i got them by the tale and gave them a chance for a swing.
"Vol. II" is a five-tune EP, full of heavy and fuzzy guitar riffs that flows around in the delightful alternative 90's rock and pop. Like today's tune "Entombed" where we get a little touch of GHOST vibes in the vocal parts. Another tunes like "My Tree" flirts with ALICE IN CHAINS and "Arabella" where the intro sounds like D.A.D. and continues with something else, a really nice piece of music.
The guys are out touring atm, check the dates below.

Atlanta’s hairiest have made a cracking new album "Emperor Of Sand” it’s the seventh studio album by American metal band MASTODON. The album is scheduled to be released on March 31, 2017 through record label Reprise.
This time they have Brendan O’Brien (who they collaborated with on their 2009 album "Crack the Skye") back on producing duties and the new album reflects on death and survival with sobering themes like mortality, life, family and cancer. With the two new tunes released the sound is heavy so the new album sounds promising.
The album was recorded at the Quarry in Kennesaw, Georgia and mixed at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles. Following the album's release, the band will embark on a tour in the United States from 14 April–20 May 2017, with support from EAGLES OF DEATH METAL and RUSSIAN CIRCLES.

Today's tune "Not a Daughter" from the 'Arc' EP, which sees the band, sounding heavier, doomier and more destructive than ever!
"The End of Electricity" is the latest release from the monolithic power judgement DOMKRAFT.
The seeds for this Stockholm trio were planted in Gothenburg, where bassist/singer Martin Wegeland, guitarist Martin Widholm and drummer Anders Dahlgren met while playing in various musical constellations. Bonding over the likes of SPACEMEN 3, MONSTER MAGNET, SLEEP and HAWKWIND, plus a fascination with trudging, 10-minute/three chord songs, they finally came together after each relocated to Stockholm.
"The End of Electricity" is a fascinating album where the heaviest shaping sound flows out into a monolith malevolent half-chant incantation and the repeated notes follow each other into a kaleidoscopic flurry, a stunning drone psychedelia.
The album contains 7 tunes that spins in at 40 mins, the record starts with the 10½ minute "The Rift" which draws you into a riff minimalism that will be hard to quarrel out from before the collapse and the tunes fade out to the perfect culmination "Meltdown Of The Orb" takes over. Hey, are you guys hooked now, well I am! The beautiful CLUTCH alike interlude "Drones" flows in the air until "Red Lead" hits the pan and the riffs are screaming again. "All Come Hither" a wonderful piece with a very hypnotic melody, I have been humming it the whole day. "Dustrider" is a punkish SABBATH tune, heavy and filthy. The album closes with crushing riff of the psychedelic "We Will Follow".
DOMKRAFT. Their name combines the Swedish “DOM” for judgement and “KRAFT” for power.
Sum: "The End of Electricity" have an unique vibe, it's Psychedelic, Heavy & Loud. Don't miss this!!
The record is released on 4 different colours (Black, Half n half with splatter, Color in Color and TriColor) grab them wile you can. And yes you can get it on CD and Digital format.

Vocalist/bassist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul, and funk. That astonishing voice is Hughes' calling card. He's known as a singer's singer. Stevie Wonder once called Hughes his favorite white singer!
With a career that started in 1970 with the band TRAPEZE, Glenn left his indelible mark on several musical endeavours and bands, including DEEP PURPLEs MK III and IV, HUGHES/THRALL, his collaborations with Gary Moore, BLACK SABBATHs Tony Iommi and most recently with BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION and CALIFORNIA BREED, just to name a few. With eleven original solo albums under his belt and countless collaborations with rock’s greatest names, Glenn Hughes is a musical icon of our times.
After the last couple of rounds of band projects, Glenn decided to concentrate again on his solo career. While touring non-stop throughout 2015 with shows in South America, Europe, UK, Japan and Singapore, sold out shows were the order of the day. In addition, late in 2015, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, announced that DEEP PURPLE, including MKIII, were to finally to be inducted!
2016 was his busiest year yet with summer festivals and solo shows in the USA, UK, and Europe and the recording of his first solo album in over eight years! “Resonate” is a triumphant return to form for "The Voice of Rock"!
Today's tune, taken from the upcoming album "Resonate", "Heavy" to the very last chords of the closer, "Long Time Gone", it promises to be a contender for many an 'Album of the Year' list. It features his live solo band members, Soren Andersen (guitars & co-producer), Pontus Engborg (drums) and newcomer to his band, Lachy Doley (keys), in addition to long-time friend and drummer, Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS), who joined them in the studio for the opening and closing numbers. It might well be the most heavy sounding of his solo albums, but as is his trademark, musical diversity shines through and as Glenn commented upon completion of the new recording, "this album is the first kind of a complete Glenn album".
So make no mistake, The Voice of Rock never left the building!
Since they formed eleven years ago in Roma, Italian trio BLACK RAINBOWS have established themselves as one of the most active fuzz-fueled rock acts in Europe, with four albums, a remarkable handful of EPs (including a split record with L.A.'s space rockers Farflung) and countless tours and festival appearances across the continent. Blending the drive and swagger of 70's hard rock with the sun-baked thickness of 90's stoner rock, BLACK RAINBOWS have managed to create their own sound imprint, that could be described as "HAWKWIND, MC-5 and NEBULA crashing cars in the middle of the Mojave desert". Closely following with their highly acclaimed effort "Hawkdope", the band have just deliver another tasty piece of their fuzzy cake with fifth full-length "Stellar Prophecy", an album that should drop in the mail box any day now. More about it later on.
Today's tune "The Hunter" is taken from the EP "Holy Moon", released 2013. So let's get riffing out with a classic stoner fuzz.
From Wellington, New Zealand the sludge metal four-piece BEASTWARS abide by one steadfast maxim: Obey the Riff.
BEASTWARS could be described as "A mongrel mix of KYUSS, NEUROSIS, HIGH ON FIRE, KYLESA, BLACK COBRA, FU MANCHU and the mighty GODFLESH". Heavy riffages for heavy times, some real sonic soothsayers utilize the chaos that engulfs our world as ammunition for their defiant howls into the abyss.
"Blood Becomes Fire" is of course released on a beautiful Vinyl (:
Todays tune "Rivermen" is a nice piece with Whiskey soaked vocals and slow heavy riffs taken from the second album "Blood Becomes Fire", Released 2013. Enjoy!
